This research investigated the development of a novel canine model to study preeclampsia. Normal canine placental development has morphologic and histologic similarities to the shallow trophoblast invasion occurring with ...

The accumulation of excessive fat is a serious concern in both
the livestock production and human health fields. Obesity is a
condition of excessive energy storage in the form of body fat
( triacylglycerols ). The cel ...

In recent years, the general public has recognized the dangers of a high fat diet and
are demanding meat with lower fat content. This demand has stimulated research in the
growth and regulation of adipocytes. However, ...

We conducted a study to compare the bite-count technique (BC) of estimating forage intake and synthesized diet quality to direct estimates of diet quantity and quality with the use of the rumen evacuation technique (RE). ...

A study was conducted to investigate if morphometric facial measurements
could be utilized to differentiate five categorical performance types of Quarter Horses.
The five categories being Western, Halter, English, Rein ...

The first goal of this study was to evaluate the roles of different intracellular
proteolytic systems in accelerated skeletal muscle protein degradation. Total,
myofibrillar and non-myofibrillar proteolysis were determ ...

The major purpose of this research was to characterize partially degraded proteins
appearing in the ocular lens during aging and cataract, and to identify the responsible
proteolytic activities. This research is signif ...

Data is limited evaluating infrequent supplementation of urea or biuret to
ruminants consuming low-quality forage (<6% crude protein). Therefore, a series
of experiments were designed to compare the effects of daily (D ...

Cytogenetic chromosome maps offer molecular tools for genome analysis and clinical cytogenetics and are of particular
importance for species with difficult karyotypes, such as camelids (2n = 74). Building on the availab ...

Lignans and proanthocyanidins are plant polyphenols that have shown protective properties against colorectal neoplasms in some human studies. Using logistic regression, we estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence i ...
